Default what tires for my maxx project?

i have a maxx winter project going on, and looking for some good tires. i dont want something that has crazy grip to the point it strains the drive components, but i want something that has good bite and looks nice

preferably something proline because i like proline products


also what size should i go with?
3.8 (40 serries)
regular size (not sure of the size)








Pics of my build:
got a ton of giftcards for christmas here like 1/2 of what i ordered:

modded a fuel tank (used revo arms to build the mount)(yellow fuel tube going down is the drain for spillt fuel)

how it currently is:


i cut this:

to fit this:

then built this (i dont know if it will work, its drying now(JB weld)

i was thinking of those, but worried with the aggressive treads i might have drive-line problems.

thank you, it was a absolute POS when i got it, i'm slowly bringing it back to life
